Erycibe cauliflora Hallier f. 
Habitat the East Indies. 
Coll. Aug. 1896. 
A young terminal shoot, still covered with brown woolly 
hairs, 3.20 cM. long, shows 1.7 dM. above the lower end on 
one side (upper side) a groove which broadening higher up 
leads to bifurcation. Only the upper half of the whole shoot 
has been represented in the figure (68). In this our special 
attention is drawn towards leaf d e, as being attached with 
the one half of its petiole at the same height as leaf a and 
with the other half on the level of leaf 4. It is obvious that 
the bifurcation was just in its beginning at the height of leaf 
a and that on this very spot the leaf d ¢ has originated as a 
joint product of the two internodes that are to separate higher 
up. As however the left internode has lengthened more intensely 
than the right one, the base of d e¢ has been torn up. This 
view corresponds with the fact that the (left) internode be- 
tween 6 and. g is distinguished by a very strong extension 
from the (right) internodes a—e and e—f. The left part ter- 
minates after having produced two more leaves in a bud of 
little development, the right one on the contrary lengthens 
1 cM. beyond the two leaves, which it produces and which 
are indicated in the figure with A and i. One of these, #, is 
cup-shaped. As the whole shoot was cut off for the examina- 
tion, its further development could not be followed. 
SCROPHULARIACEAE. 
Penstemon ") campanulatus Wd. 
Habitat Mexico. 
Coll. Dee. 1894. 
[N.B. In the normal flower the corolla tube is long and the 
lobes of the lips short}. 
1) = Pentastémum on account of the number (5) stamens differing from the ordi- 
nary (4) number in the family of Scrophulariaceae. In our paper of 1895 we mention 
a regular peloria of the plant; so does Penzic II, p. 203.
